How does S. aureus turn a toxic metabolite into a survival tool? Rutgers-led research shows its enzyme FumC converts fumarate into fuel for growth, biofilm, & virulence—opening doors for new anti-pneumonia drugs. go.njmicrobe.org/8MQv9B #Microbiology #Pathogenesis #StaphAureus #AntimicrobialTargets

Grateful to be a co-author on the study showing how fumarate metabolism by host and pathogen promotes pneumonia. Itaconate synergises with fumarate and drives staphylococcal adaptation.👇

Great work showcasing acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1) as a metabolic checkpoint in Treg biology. Increased acetyl-CoA levels drive increasing histone acetylation at the Foxp3. Under inflammatory conditions, fatty acid inhibition promotes the induction and long-term stability of Tregs.
